Bach
Description

The Bach C190SL229C Stradivarius Series Chicago-Inspired Professional C Trumpet is built for demanding players who expect precision and projection. Developed with Esteban Batallán, principal trumpet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, this model is an acoustic replica of Vincent Bach’s legendary Mt. Vernon C trumpets from 1955. The two-piece valve casing, Mt. Vernon-weight 229 bell and half-dome brass French-style wire construction deliver fast response and tonal clarity. A short crook height on the main, first and third tuning slides makes quick adjustments easier. Its yellow brass body and bell, paired with monel pistons and nickel silver outer slides, ensure durability and a focused, resonant tone. Finished in silver plate, the instrument comes with a Gard double case and a 3C mouthpiece for secure transport and playability.

Bach Bell and Valve Craftsmanship Elevate Symphonic Performance

Symphonic players searching for reliable intonation and an expressive sound will find the Chicago-inspired trumpet model offers both. The Mt. Vernon-weight bell and detailed valve work support powerful projection and a smooth, centered timbre. Using the thumb saddle and fixed third ring, players can make fine slide adjustments quickly in rehearsal or concert. The independent feel from the monel pistons and nickel silver slides helps advanced trumpeters shape their tone for orchestral solos or demanding passages. Consistent build quality and classic Bach sound help musicians deliver confident performances—whether in a world-class orchestra or a university ensemble.
